ok, i think we need one of these here for anyone familiar with vectors. i don't think i need to explain unless anyone's still unclear on the difference between vector and raster (pixels). anyway, these are two ads for my magazine design class... all vector.

Nice ads Dom, I assume these are done in Illustrator?

I need to grab Illustrator, because at the moment my only outlet for 2D vector is Macromedia Flash, and we all know that just doesn't work.

i'd hate for people to steal my work... afterall vectors ARE up-scalable. anyway, yeah, these were done in illustrator... and flash is cool... assumin you're makin flashtoons... which it sounds like you're not, so yeah, get illustrator.

It looks pretty cool, and the Rockstar energy drink is incredibly funny.

uh... thanks. it's not only for my magazine class, but also my packaging class. we're redesigning rockstar to be in 2 liter and 1 liter bottles as oppose to just cans. figured since i had to make 2 ads for my magazine, i'd kill two birds with one stone and get the ad done early.

Well, I have flash for just that reason. Animations are it's specialty. I would never consider drawing things with it.

Dom, have you used Gimp? I'm assuming not, because you use adobe photoshop and illustrator. It's open source, and is "supposed" to be as good as photoshop. I wonder if it's vector capable as well.

nope, i'm quite happy at home with the adobe suite!

Way to be, Dom. Way to be.

Cool stuff.
I'd never be able to do it.
Thus that makes it even better.
